Hammy, bacony, porkchoppy goodness!
Cute image!
I used two-way on the 2(s) in R16 and no other advanced logic. Funny that this was suspected of requiring guessing :)

After LL
There is only one more 1 to place in r11, so at least two of the 5s in c11,12,&13 must go down. No matter how you try to place those two 5s in the lower space it forces the third 5 to be there as well.

LL to finish

78% with LL. I saw what Joe did. To be pedantic, it's C11/12/14.

I also didn't see a way to use LL at 88% but as a safety valve, if R15C15 is a dot so is C16 and then we have a 2 in R11, a contradiction. Then, line logic.
